I was 2cm last week at my 36 wk appt, and 50% effaced! Doc didn't say anything to me about going early though. Very excited for this weeks appointment to see if anything has changed!

I was 95% effaced and 1 cm dilated at 24 weeks. At 29 weeks I was 98% and 3 cm dilated. At 33 weeks I was 100% and 3.5-4cm dilated and baby was engaged. Apparently I broke all the rules as I am now 37 weeks and baby is still holding on. We were talking about making it to 34 weeks. Now we are talking induction due to GD day before due date. So...yeah. I broke medical science.

I never got checked in either of my previous pregnancies, and I always say it doesn't mean anything. But today when my MW did my GBS she said she'd do a "gentle check" and i figured sure why not. Well she said I was high, closed and soft. But I feel so so low!!!! How can he be high? Lol. I'm 36w3d.

Was dilated to 2+ at36 weeks with my first and went 3 days over. At the time they also acted like something was going to happen early and I think that made the wait that much harder when it didn't! I have been 2cm dilated and some thinned since 34 weeks now with #2 and will be 37 weeks tomorrow. She told me she didn't think I would make it to my due date at that 34 week check, I didn't even listen to it as I know better. Baby could come tomorrow or after due date unfortunately no one knows:( hang in there you are in the home stretch!

I was not dilated at all at 40+4 with my first. That was at 2 and I was in the hospital dilated to 5-6 by 9 that night. With this one, at 36 weeks I'm a 2 and 50% effaced and low. I have my next apt tomorrow (37+3)

I'm ready to have this baby, but know that really things can change in just a matter of a moment. We are all almost there, the last few weeks seem like the worst!!

Good luck ladies!!!!

Yep. Last week at my 36 week appt I was 3cm and 80% effaced. Same this week. I'm ready to get this party started. They said anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks. It's really no indication :(

Unfortunately it's really no indication other than that your body is making progress. My first pregnancy, I sat at 3 cm dilated for a couple of weeks & still ended up being induced. Last appt at 36wk, I was 2cm & 50% effaced but not holding my breath that it's really any indication as to when I'll go in labor.
